Dec 22 Decor In A Box: Our Solomon & Sheba Scatter & Mr Price Home

Our bold and colourful Solomon & Sheba scatter was delivered last year to the lovely Gwyn Slade, our newsletter competition winner. The rest of the scatters in the Solomon & Sheba range have filled up our storefront and are waiting to brighten up many a home.

We thought it may be fun to play around with a couple of ideas on what decor items you could pair with our Solomon & Sheba scatters and decided to get all our complimentary decor items from Mr Price Home. Prices have been rounded up to the nearest R10 for your convenience.

This board should also give you an idea of what we mean when we refer to a curated decor collection, or Decor-In-A-Box.

Needless to say, this Decor-In-A-Box board and range is inspired by Solomon & Sheba: Raw African beauty meets the luxuries of the East.

The plain design of this original Solomon & Sheba scatter is descriptive of the colorful caravans of people, offset against the endless rich plains of their desert as the Queen of Sheba was likely to make her way from Ethiopia to Israel to meet King Solomon.

Nipples. Let’s talk about the perky, pink wonders that hold unknown power and intrigue. Just to be clear, we’re talking about female nipples here. ⠀
⠀
They’re a little like snowflakes in that no two are alike (even on the same woman, frustratingly) and no two women have the same feelings when looking at their own nipples. Hopefully, by the time you reach your thirties you have been blessed with either an adoring partner or nursing child to help you look on your own nipples tenderly, realising for yourself the importance of these tiny bits of flesh.⠀
⠀
Nobody realises their importance more acutely than the woman who has lost one or both her nipples with a mastectomy. And perhaps, to an extent, Cara du Plessis who hand makes realistic adhesive prosthetic silicone nipples. ⠀
⠀
“It’s something small,” says Cara, “but it can have an actual impact on someone’s life. The idea that this product could be that last bit of confidence a woman needs to say ‘Now I am done with breast cancer,’ means so much to me.”⠀
⠀
Women who are able to afford breast reconstruction will often have it done during the mastectomy, but getting reconstructed nipples and tattoos means additional costs and further painful surgeries for them. Pain free and affordable nipples, however, was something Cara could make with confidence and it’s a place where the unique hand-made quality of each piece is a definite advantage. ⠀
⠀
The long and the short of them⠀
⠀
A pair of Perky Pinks will set a breast cancer survivor back a mere R1,999 and could last for years if taken care of properly. They come in three different sizes and five different shades. The adhesive is waterproof, meaning you can keep them on for 3 – 5 days and swim and shower with your gorgeous new nipples without the fuss of reapplying them daily. The set comes with 10 ml of FDA approved adhesive, suitable for sensitive skin; as well as a handy handbag-ready 5ml adhesive; application brush; 50 ml spray-on remover solution; alcoholic cleansing wipes and a booklet. ⠀

And here’s why we must all wear sunscreen. I can’t stress this enough.

The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,
One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth.
